Summary/Abstract: Lithuania feels privileged to have the opportunity to lead the Organisation just after the first OSCE Summit since 1999, the outcomes of which have a great influence on the agenda for the Lithuanian chairmanship in 2011. During our chairmanship a particular attention will be paid to such important issues as energy security, protracted conflicts resolution, promotion of sub-regional cooperation, strengthening OSCE role in Afghanistan, tolerance education and freedom of the media. Among other important tasks of our chairmanship will be the process of appointing a new Secretary General and an ODIHR director. A big challenge for Lithuanian chairmanship is to maintain our overarching goal to rebuild trust and confidence in order to strengthen security in Europe.
